   • New from Selection : Creates a new rhythmic feel based on the selected one. Initially no values are overridden but you can change the options for your new rhythmic feel.

   • Save as Default : Saves the selected rhythmic feel to your user library, allowing you to use it in multiple projects. Appears as for rhythmic feels saved as default.

   • Revert to Factory : Removes all your changes to the selected rhythmic feel, returning it to its saved settings.

     Note

     You cannot delete predefined rhythmic feels or any rhythmic feel that is currently used in your project.

3. Name

   Allows you to enter a name for new rhythmic feels or edit the name of existing rhythmic feels.

4. Depends on tempo

   Controls whether the swing pattern uses the same ratio at all tempos or changes according to the tempo.

   • When Depends on tempo is activated, the swing ratio varies according to the tempo. A second slider appears for High tempo, allowing you to change the values for both Low tempo and High tempo.

   • When Depends on tempo is deactivated, the swing ratio value of the single slider is used at all tempos.

5. Low tempo

   Sets the tempo at/below which the swing ratio changes, measured in quarter note beats per minute. The swing ratio slider to the right controls the swing ratio used.

6. High tempo

   Sets the tempo at/above which the swing ratio changes, measured in quarter note beats per minute. When Depends on tempo is activated, the swing ratio slider to the right controls the swing ratio used.

7. Swing ratio sliders

   Allow you to set the swing ratio to be used below the set Low tempo and above the set High tempo. Their possible ranges are from 1:1, which is straight, to 5:1, which is a sextuplet with the second notated eighth note sounding on the final division.

   The current swing ratio and swing percentage values of the sliders are shown to their right.

8. Swing unit

   Allows you to choose the rhythmic duration you want to swing in the selected ratio. You can swing either eighth notes or 16th notes.
